Question

franklin begins scuba diving at sea level. he descends 5 feet every minute. how many minutes will it take him to descend to an elevation of -35 feet? rewrite the equation as a related division equation. -5m = -35 \square \div \square = m -35 \\ m \\ -5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall division property of equality.

To solve for \( m \) in the equation \(-5m = -35\), we can divide both sides of the equation by \(-5\). This gives us \( m=\frac{-35}{-5} \), which can be rewritten as a division equation: \(-35\div(-5)=m\).

Answer:

\(-35\div(-5)=m\) (So the first box is \(-35\) and the second box is \(-5\))
